La Rue L'Aleval, St Peter, Jersey, JE3

Exquisite country estate in idyllic rural location.

Description

This exquisite country estate is bursting with character built in 1768 and Grade 4 listed. The rural home is set in approximately 30 acres of magnificent grounds to match. The property has been lovingly cared for and well-maintained by the current owners who have kept it in immaculate condition throughout. Approached through a tree lined private driveway, this truly is an elegant home with pretty climbing flowers delicately blooming across the house complementing the traditional Jersey granite façade.

The grounds are enchanting with pristine gardens boasting manicured lawns, beautifully shrubbed with young trees and an array of pretty flowers. Attention to the finer detail includes an impressive intricate curved lawn along with a pond and focal water features. A charming bridge leads to the rest of the peaceful garden retreat. A wrap around tiled patio shapes a perfect space for alfresco dining, enjoying summer barbeques with family or soaking in the sunshine. There is plenty of scope and space to add a tennis court or swimming pool.

This main house is entered through a characterful arched granite porch and impressive statement glass front door which floods light into the entrance hall. A charming stable-style farm door opens into the kitchen with bespoke fitted cabinetry centred around a kitchen island with gorgeous granite counter top. This room is both stylish and homely with high-end fitted appliances such as an AGA.

This family home benefits from five large and versatile reception rooms perfect for a growing family. Each room is full of character with exposed wooden beams, sophisticated sash windows and granite fire places. This includes a formal dining room adorned with chandeliers, comfortable study and several luxurious living rooms. Four of the principal reception rooms have functional log burners which create a cosy feel in the colder months.

In addition to these principal reception rooms there is a spacious conservatory filled with natural light perfect for relaxing with a book whilst admiring views of the garden, or alternatively this could make a fabulous studio.

Upstairs are eight generous double bedrooms split across two floors. These rooms are beautifully appointed with bespoke fitted wardrobes and gorgeous sash windows with built in window seats to enjoy the peaceful surrounds. The principal bedroom is completed by a well-sized ensuite bathroom and the other rooms are well provided for by several house bathrooms.

Three further bedrooms are provided by a connecting cottage. Accessed via a separate entrance, this would be perfect for multi- generation living or accommodating visiting family or guests. This cottage is fully equipped with a kitchen supported by a utility room, gorgeous living room, house bathroom and downstairs WC.

The separate converted barn is the perfect space for a private home office with separate external entrance. The office has built in cabinetry for files and storage and accommodates a large meeting table. This space also includes a home gym with floor to ceiling mirrors and adjoining bathroom with walk-in shower for convenience after workouts. The rest of the building is currently purposed as extensive storage rooms, yet this is a versatile space with endless potential to be renovated and transformed as an exciting project.

Two electric double garages provide for the main house along with four additional garages and ample parking to the front of the property accommodating the cottage and visitors.
